Happy Holidays

Before it gets busy I thought I would wish everyone a very Merry Christmas & happy new year 🥳

Felt Angel Stocking

I have finally finished my kit, it was started before the new Millennium, when I was visiting by Mum & Dad in Atlanta. Mum took me to Michaels for the first time, being from the UK I had never seen large craft stores on this scale. I got this in their Christmas in July event, again something I hadn’t seen before. I think that is why I remember where & when it arrived in my stash, it’s good to see it finally finished.

Now what next …. something new or something from the stash??🤔

White work samples

Recently I’ve been practicing my white work skills in preparation for my next large piece of embroidery.

White Work Butterfly

I’ve been trying out white work with this little kit.

Finally finished the leaf, for my royal school of needlework certificate in hand embroidery. Now on to the petals

New year craft

This year I made some sew on sequins calendars for some friends for Christmas.

They are quite pretty.

Luna & I wish everyone a happy & prosperous new year.

SAL December

Christmas crafting is underway

One calendar done, two more to go!

Two bird Christmas tree decorations from a kit mum gave me, & one more to go.

Have I done any cross stitch? No. I have done lots of other things. This week I took 15 girls doing A level physics to Harry Potter studio tour, for a careers/ STEM workshop, we all had a great time & came home with baby nifflers.

Personally I got 2 & buckbeak , it’s been a long term, with still 3 weeks to go I needed cheering up a bit.
